Return of Rocco

In Follow the Roar, I explain the difference between Tiger Woods and Rocco Meidate with the simple illustration that Rocco appears at my local golf shop every February to sign autographs and pose for pictures. Well, I was reminded that it is that time of year again when I received this in my inbox:

But for Rocco's sake, wash your hands before shaking his. After undergoing a knee surgery that kept him out of the Buick Invitational, the poor guy came down with a killer flu and is only recently up and about. As for that knee, he's expecting it to be okay -- he'll just need to get the fluid drained out of it after every round. For Tiger, this would be front page news. For Rocco, it's business as usual.
